How to spice up your mash...

[Budgie]

So I got started nice and early this morning on my Sierra Nevada clone. Mash went well and as I was heating up the sparge water I noticed a slight problem. Well, a bloody big problem actually.

I emptied 5 2 litre bottles of water into the kettle, and measured the last litre out with a jug. Trouble is that jug had had caustic soda in it and the mash was finished by the time I'd realised.

Not enough grain left to start again either. Day wasted. Balls.

bloody good jop you noticed before you tried a sample...

Bad luck with all the wasted time and grain but as yeastinfection says It's a good job you noticed in time or you'd have ended up looking like your avatar...permanately

Yep, no idea why I even picked that jug up. What a tool!
